Notes and Opinions.

His bitterest political opponent
will acqut Senator Beck of the at
tempted bribery of the Labor party
in Louisville, KY, with which he is
charged.
Judge West, of Ohio, concludes,
from reading the papers and talk
ing with politicians, that Mr.. Blaine
is just as strong in that State as he
ever was.
The Florida State Senate did not
organize according to the mandates
of the constitution adopted in 1885
and Senator-elect Pasco may find
his election on this account
The Baltimore Sun thinks that a
plot has been discovered in North
Carolina to create discomfort among
the colored people so that the Re
publican party may reap an advan,
tage.
The persistent and ludicrous eff
forts of the Democratic press in
Ohio to create dissension in the Re
publican party OF that state shows
that they trust to it as their only
hope of success this fall.
They have been trying the plan Of
making nominations by direct par
ty vote in Athens County, O., and
the result has been to bring out sc
per cent. of the party strength as
shown at presidential election.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Orders have been given to the
Bureau of Construction of the Navy
Department to have the cruiser Chi
cago, now at New York, placed in
the dry dock, cleaned and painted
preparatory to going on trial trip
up Long Island Sound, which will
probably be ordered within months
time. Coming around from Chester
to New York the cruiser averaged
thirteen knots, although the furnace
doors we're open great part OF the
time, and particular care was exer-
cised not to injure the machinery by
forcing the speed.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission yesterday adjourned until
July IL, after arranging docket of
cases from the 18th to the 2lst of
that month. Commissioner Bragg
will remain in Washington in charge
of the Commission rooms during the
absence of his fellow Commissioners.
Commissioner Walker will go to
Vermont, Judge Schoonmaker to
New York, and Col. Morrison to IL
linois. Judge Cooley has already
left the city for Michigan.
Inspector General Baird and Col.
Hasbrock, commandments of cadets
at West Point, have been detailed to
visit France in September next for
the purpose of witnessing the ma
neuyers of the French army.
1t has been demonstrated by the
invention of a Russian scientist that

This road runs through great oil
country and the crude oil can be had
very cheaply, but then comes in the
question who wants or really bankers

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Sig
nal Service report says that the
weather during the week has been
generally favorable for the principal
crops. Rains in the South Atlantic
states doubtless improved the con-
dition of the staple crops in that re-
gion, and the indications this morn
ing are that rain will occur in the
Lower Mississippi and Ohio Valleys
by Monday afternoon. The wealth
or has been favorable for harvesting
in the wheat regions, there has been
an excess of sunshine and very little
rain. In the corn region the wealth
er has been generally favorable, al,
though in some localities more rain
is needed. and the cool weather OF
the past week must have slightly re-
tarded the growth of the corn crop.
In New England, where haying is
now in progress, the conditions have
been especially favorable to the hay
crop. All crops to this section and
the Middle Atlantic states have been
improved by the rains, although in
theNorthern portions of New En-
gland and New York there has been
less than the usual amount of sun
shine, attended by cool weather.

socIAL:HoNoRs TO Mr.. BLAINE.
Few. Americans Have Been So Feted-
A Guest of MIR. Gladstone.


A Guest of MIR. Gladstone.
LONDON, June 25.-James G..
Blaine from the day of his arrival in
London, week ago yesterday, has
been the recipient of the most re-
markabIe social attentions ever
shown to any unofficial American
visitor. Invitations to dinners and
receptions from all the most notable
people in London have been so
showered upon him that he has been
embarrassed to make selections. He
and Mrs. Blaine were the centre of
attraction at Mr.. Gladstones Sum-
mer garden party. Mr.. Gladstone
was very marked in his attentions to
Mr.. Blaine. His guests were very
anxious to be presented. Mr.. Blaine
held quite a court, nearly all the
guests present asking to be pre-
sented.
Mr.. Blaine was asked by Prime
Minister Salisbury to attend a re-
ception given by him during the
week at the Foreign Office in honor
of the visiting royalties. Mr.. Blaine
declined the invitation. 1t was of
social character, and Mr.. Blaine's
reasons for declining the invitation
are not known, but, doubtless, he
felt that his presence there after his
controversy with Lord Salisbury
over the Irish question would have
been subject to misconstruction.
Lord Salisbury's course in the past
shows also that he is anything but q
friend of the United States. Mr..
Blaine's friends are all delighted at
his refusal to accept Lord Salisbury's
Inequalities. Under the circum-
stances various attempts have been
made by prominent Liberal leaders
to get Mr.. Blaine to take part in the
political complications on this side,
but he has steadily refused and has
maintained a discreet reserve. |
called upon Mr.. Blaine last evening
for the purpose Of asking his opinion
of the Jubilee celebration. He was
looking in radiant health and spirits.
The English climate agrees with him
admirably.
Mr.. Blaine was little disposed to
criticise the Jubilee performances,
as he was occupying the delicate
position of a guest in England, but
he said that it did seem strange
that out of the fifty years of pro-
gress made by England in the arts
and sciences, in the growth of manu-
features and industries which had
resulted in the increased employ
ment of millions of workingmen,
that there should be selected for the
street parade representatives of the
one institution which had not made
a single step in advance for fifty
years, viz, royalty. 1t was, there
fore, in his Judgment, poor show,
on account of its utter lack of the
representative quality. The parade
of a nominal sovereign, with a long
escort of petty princes and small
rulers, did not, in his judgment,
make a pageant of an impressive
character. 1t did not deserve for
one moment to be mentioned in
comparison with the Bunker Hill
centennial celebration in 1875. There
every form of human industry and
progress during the century had its
representation in this splendid en-
blematical line. | asked Mr.. Blaine
TO give me his reasons for declining
Lord Salisbury's invitation. Here
